\n" ); document.write( "I. \"x%5Em%2Ax%5En+=+x%5E%28m%2Bn%29+\"
\n" ); document.write( "II. \"%28a%5Ep%29%5Eq+=+a%5E%28p%2Aq%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "III. \"root%28a%2Cp%29%2Aroot%28a%2Cq%29+=+root%28a%2Cp%2Aq%29\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "[(8a^2b^-1)/(b^2)]^3 = 8^3a^6b^-3 / b^6 = 8^3a^6/(b^3)b^6 = 8^3a^6/b^9 \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
